Hello
Thank you for posting on HCM.
Acne, as you must be aware is pretty common condition caused chiefly due to hormonal influence and clogging of pores and followed by infection and inflammation.
Treatment usually depends on severity of of acne. Usually I advise oral antibiotics with or without oral isotretinoin. Apply cream containing nadifloxacin twice day and gel containing benzoyl peroxide and adapalene at bedtime.
Use good quality soap like acne-aid bar for bathing and a moisturizer like Cetaphil DAM on regular basis.
Avoid junk food as far as possible and include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet.
Avoid use of talcum powder over neck and back areas.
Hope this will take care of your condition.

Thank you
